SELF-SEALING PAMPHLET-GOVER.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

-Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. NICHOLS, of East Hampton, State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Self-Sealing Covers for Catalogues, &c.; and I declare the following to he afull, true, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon. i 3

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention. the nature of which consists extending the widthof one of the backs or covers of catalogues, pamphlets, magazines, 8.10., so much beyond the width of the leaves, as will be sulieient to form a flap, which is provided with an adhesive substance, substantially as hereinafterwanls set forth.

A represents, for instance, a catalogue, and B one of its lids or covers. This lid should be about one-half inch wider than the leaves or the lid on the opposite side. It should also be provided with an adhesive substance, like that, for instance, on the ordinary self-scaling letter-envelope.

Thus, much time and expense are saved in folding and sealing this class of books, as all that is necessary is simply to fold the pamphlet or catalogue lengthwise, moisten the adhesive substance, and hring the flap in contact with the back or lid.

Having thus fully described my invention,-what- I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A self-sealing catalogue, pamphlet, magazine, &e., substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
